Did A Tree Really Fall in The Forest If No One Was There to Hear It?

A composer needs a performer to put his or her music into
the air and ears of listeners. A composer needs listeners
to receive his communication. As a composer, I have always
believed that the answer to the age-old philosophical
question, "If a tree fell in a forest and no one was there
to see [or hear] it, did it really fall?" is obvious.
Someone has to be witness to the falling of that tree,
someone has to play the music for it to truly exist, someone
has to receive the musical communication to complete its
"path". No man is an island. Composers NEED performers
NEED listeners NEED composers, etc.
